Default A pesky persistent weed

Thanks for your interest in this "problem".
I will be very cautious and selective with the dreaded g***** and let some
of the pesky weed grow to maturity.
Then we shall see . . .
Yes, ground-elder is THE pest. But, perversely, I did like tracking it down
and ferreting it out - kind of satisfying.

This is the second garden where I have experienced these small, green
plants
growing, in a tightly-clustered way, around small fruit such as
raspberries
and red/white/black currents.
Often they are even tighter together than this photo shows.
Anyone - what are they?
(I never let them get big enough to be able to take a photo of any
flower.)

Second question, since glyphosate is absorbed by leaves (and not by
woody
material), is it safe to spray them with glyphosate and not damage the
fruit
bushes ?
Thanks to and for this active group.


Hi Rob,

If using glyphosate It is better to paint than spray, use a fantail
artists brush, this will keep this weed killer just where you want it to
be!!!
